🍁 There will be corn

Good morning, Wilson County. The Grande Prix went off almost without a hitch, but thanks weather. There’s a lot to come in August so you better get ready.

In today’s WilCo Beat:

Let’s get to it.

THE DIGEST

🌽 Wilson County / TN State Fair is around the corner

The fair is coming back August 17-26. And there is going to be a ton of corn.

From corn hole tournaments, a cornbread challenge, and corn meal muffin baking contests to mountains of corn dogs.

Start your fair planning.

Plus, as we shared a couple of weeks ago, there will be monster trucks.
